My partner Martin is a long-standing friend of Lauren (Simon). We got introduced at an event and I was asked if I'd like to join the show. Four weeks later I got the contract. It all happened so fast.

How do you get on with the other housewives?

They are all lovely but as with any group of friends there are always some you will gravitate towards more than others. I get on really well with Dawn (Ward) and Seema (Malhotra) as I have more in common with them as they also both run their own businesses.

Do you think you appearing on the show will change viewer perception of 'the housewives'?

I hope that viewers will be able to see that I've worked hard to get where I am and to have the lifestyle I have.

Everything I’ve got and I have is attainable - I’m a dentist - anyone can go to uni, study that and do that. I want to inspire young people that you can get this if you go and work for it.

I went on work experience at a dentists when I was at high school and I was inspired by the dentist. The problem was I wasn't that great at science at school so I really needed to work hard to achieve my biology and chemistry A Levels in order for me to get in to university.

I'm really proud of what I have achieved and it proves that hard work really does pay off.

I'm still very committed to my patients so I'm itching to get back to work. The team at Kiln Lane are like a family, we have a fantastic team there.

I'm not sure what doors Real Housewives of Cheshire will open for me or how busy I will be with side of things but I've studied hard to get where I am in my career so that will always be an important part of my life.
